Outcomes

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…

OutcomeLiveScore BetBetfairProfit/Loss
Both teams score+ £31.00– £32.35£1.35 loss
Any other outcome– £20.00+ £18.64£1.36 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £1.36 in qualifying for our £20.00 in free bets.

Free bets

A pop-up notification offering us our £20.00 free bets will appear within 3 hours of our qualifying bet being settled. We must accept the free bets before 23:59 on Friday 25th June 2021. Free bet stakes will not be returned with any winnings.

Our £20.00 in free bets will be credited as 4 x £5.00 free bets. Two free bets will be valid on football and the other two will be valid on horse racing and golf.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £16.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £1.36, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £14.64 on this LiveScore Bet offer!

* The match was drawn 0-0, resulting in a profit of £14.64 on this LiveScore Bet offer. *
